Hello friend,
The devastating news of two Oklahoma city toddlers drowning in a backyard pool has left our hearts heavy.
We understand how important it is to ensure the safety of our children and want to do whatever we can to prevent another tragedy like this from occurring.
Unfortunately, in this incident, the pool was not fenced in. That's why I want to remind you of the importance of pool safety.
Fencing your pool is a simple step you can take to maximize safety. When properly installed, a pool fence prevents children from accessing the pool without supervision in most cases.
In addition to fencing in pools, always supervise children around any body of water, ensure they have basic swimming lessons, and avoid leaving standing water where they can easily access it.
As parents, we are responsible for taking the necessary steps to prevent any more preventable drownings.
As these measures take time and dedication, it is best to start today by gathering
information on adequately fencing your pool, installing pool alarms, and learning basic CPR techniques.
